Dana White Talks
Conor McGregor & more!Dana White recently spoke to UFC.com about
the contenders in the UFC Featherweight Division. Here is what he had to
say… “Especially with all the excitement in that division with Conor
McGregor, Cub Swanson and Frankie Edgar – that division is so exciting that
people are talking about freaking Nik Lentz and Dennis Bermudez. I told Cub
and Frankie, ‘Don’t worry about anything you hear with all the Conor
McGregor talk and all the other stuff. You worry about Cub Swanson and you
worry about Frankie Edgar.’ Believe me, the fact that people are arguing
over who should get a title shot in the 145-pound division isn’t a bad
thing. It’s a good thing.”

Michael Kuiper (12-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) vs Josh Janousek (8-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has been pulled from UFC on FOX 6 after Janousek suffered an injury five days before the event.

Janousek was set to replace Buddy Roberts (12-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC), who was a replacement for Caio Magalhaes (5-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC), who was a replacement for Thiago Perpetuo (9-1-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC). The first fight was set for UFC on FX 7 before being moved to UFC on FOX 6 with the Kuiper-Roberts pairing earlier this month.

The event takes place this Saturday at the United Center in Chicago. The main card airs on FOX with preliminary fights on FX and Facebook. It's unknown if Janousek vs. Kuiper will be rebooked for a later event.

Kuiper was looking for a return after a TKO win over Jared Hamman at UFC 150 in August. This was his first UFC win after a decision loss to Rafael Natal in his promotional debut, which ended a 11-0 record. Janousek would have been making his UFC debut at the event.
